Khitan small-script character 18B52

𘭒 belongs to Khitan small script, devised in the 10th century to write the Khitan language for the Liao state. Its forms drew on Chinese characters, while sound-based principles came from Uyghur writing; 11th- and 12th-century inscriptions attest its use, and Jin rulers kept using Khitan writing after the Liao fell. Jurchen writing was modeled on Khitan scripts; the numbered Unicode label identifies this character but does not translate it.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘭒 show as a box on some devices?

It is recent: Unicode added it in version 13.0 (2020), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
